After an electric week of the NFL Combine, the only thing standing between now and the NFL draft is free agency. 

With the draft just two months away, I’d like to take a look at a possible draft haul for the Tennessee Titans. This list will mostly be my opinion as I think the draft is still too far out to try to predict what teams want to do. 

Similar to my last mock, the Titans focus lies on the defensive side of the ball with head coach Robert Saleh looking to instill a new identity in Nashville. 

Round 1, Pick 4: Sonny Styles | Linebacker | Ohio State 

It seems that every year a player completely takes over and captivates the eyes of scouts at the NFL Combine. Last year we saw Nick Emmanwori post the most athletic combine performance of any safety ever, and he wound up as a second-round pick and an integral piece to a championship team in his rookie year.  

However, there’s a difference between Styles and Emmanwori that puts Styles on another tier. Before the draft, Emmanwori was seen as a projection at safety that would take some time to adjust to the league. Obviously, that wasn’t true, but that was the common opinion at the time. Styles, on the other hand, is seen as a linebacker prospect that rivals some of the best of all time, such as Roquan Smith and Luke Kuechly. Even before his dominance at the combine, Styles was projected to go somewhere in the top ten of the draft. 

A former safety converted to linebacker; Styles is the epitome of the modern NFL linebacker. In coverage, Styles exhibits athleticism and instincts either drop into a zone and cover the middle of the field or to trail any tight end in man coverage. In 2025, Styles missed zero tackles in the regular season per Pro Football Focus and racked up 58 tackles on the season while he was paired up with Arvell Reese, who is likely to go even earlier in this draft than Styles. 

Off the field, Styles received rave reviews from scouts that interacted with him at the combine. A rare combination of elite on and off field production. 

Robert Saleh gets his own Fred Warner in Styles to be the captain of his defense for years to come. Styles also gets paired with third year linebacker Cedric Grey, who just had a career year of his own.  

Round 2, Pick 35: Omar Cooper Jr. | Receiver | Indiana  

I recently wrote about Omar Cooper Jr. in a recent wide receiver ranking, where he was ranked fourth behind the current big three receivers of Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon and Jordyn Tyson. However, I believed that Cooper could be around the level of those three in his own right.  

In 2025, Cooper tallied up 91 catches for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns as he led the Indiana Hoosiers to a national championship. Cooper split targets with fellow draft prospect Elijah Surratt throughout the season and still produced elite numbers in the offense.  

Cooper is a smooth mover as a route runner and a guy that can be the safety blanket for Cam Ward going forward. Especially, if the Titans keep Calvin Ridley so Cooper can learn in a wide receiver two role. As a receiver, Cooper offers almost everything you want. He can get open against man coverage and create explosive plays after the catch. His 27 missed tackles forced were tied for fourth in the nation for 2025.  

Where you start to see some weaknesses with Cooper is when you look at athleticism and contested catch ability. Cooper caught just 50% of his contested catch opportunities in 2025, which is good for the NFL but just around average for college football. 

Cooper has a definite ceiling in the NFL, which is why I believe he has slipped to the second round in this draft. However, he can be a very consistent wide receiver two for the Titans, and they can possibly look for their number one guy in 2027. 

Round 3, Pick 66: Davison Igbinosun | Cornerback | Ohio State 

In the third round, the Titans can take a swing on a corner with high upside to attempt to replace the three corners they shipped off in 2025. Igbinosun has the ideal frame for a modern NFL corner at 6’2” 195 pounds. He also showed off his athleticism at the combine with a 4.45 40-yard dash and over 32-inch arms. 

Igbinosun has a history of being overly aggressive in coverage for the Buckeyes. However, compared to other corners in the third round, his physical attributes stand out. If the Titans hope to find a true outside corner in this draft without a first-round pick.

If they can teach Igbinosun to be more conservative with his hands, then maybe they’ll have a starting corner.
